Born today, you are nothing if not aware -- and, in fact, your ability to know what is going on all around you is the one thing that gives you an advantage over others in almost every situation. Even when quite young -- indeed, during your infancy -- others remarked again and again how plugged in you were. You not only know what is going on, but you often know why, and your ability to recognize another's motives and get right to the heart of a cloudy or complicated issue is perhaps unmatched. And, of course, woe to anyone who tries to deceive you in any way.
You have a healthy estimation of your own talents, and yet you crave approval and praise and can bristle at even the slightest criticism. These truths may seem to go against the impression others have of you of being strong and confident.
Also born on this date are: Jimmy Fallon, late-night TV host; Adam West, actor; David McCallum, actor; Jeremy Irons, actor; Trisha Yearwood, singer; Mario Batali, celebrity chef; Michael Symon, celebrity chef; Mama Cass Elliot, singer.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The time has come for you to carefully consider the options now available to you. This situation is no longer purely theoretical.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must be willing to acknowledge another's expertise today if you're going to have any chance of joining those whose side you're on.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's more to the day's business affairs than facts and figures. Are you able to be yourself among those who are in charge?
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You certainly don't want to be pulled this way and that today by those whose intentions conflict with yours, so you may simply have to go it alone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll understand the significance of a chance encounter before the other party even suspects that something unusual is going on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your math had better be accurate today or you'll find yourself going without at a time when you'd want your resources to be plentiful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in no mood to let the machines in your life dictate your schedule -- or what you do within it. It's time to trust your instincts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You needn't try to assert your dominance over others in a certain situation today, as it's sure to be already clear to all concerned.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must accept the fact that not everyone will jump on the bandwagon after you share an unusual idea, but you'll have some help, surely.
